The undersized Chippewas (9-8, 2-2 MAC) put four, and sometimes five, players on the floor capable of attacking the basket off dribble penetration and easily penetrated the Cardinal defense for 40 points in the paint. Central Michigan essentially followed the same game plan as IUPUI, another undersized team that shot better than 50 percent by breaking the Ball State defense down off the dribble in a 77-68 victory on Dec. 23.
